IOC-UNESCO has been promoting the Tsunami Ready recognition program as an international performance- based community recognition pilot consisting of key actions that help to reduce tsunami-related risks to individuals and communities. Through the Tsunami Ready recognition program, communities become aware of the risks they face from tsunamis and take steps to address them. The Tsunami Ready program seeks to build resilient communities through awareness and preparedness strategies that will protect life, livelihoods and property from tsunamis in different regions. The main goal of the program is to improve coastal community preparedness for tsunamis and to minimize the loss of life, livelihoods and property. This is achieved through a collaborative effort to meet a standard level of tsunami preparedness through the fulfilment of a set of established indicators. The Tsunami Ready program is implemented as a voluntary, performance-based community recognition program that promotes an understanding of the concept of readiness as an active collaboration among national and local warning and emergency management agencies and government authorities, scientists, community leaders, and the public. To support current and future piloting of the IOC- UNESCO tsunami ready, UNESCO/IOC commissioned the review and analysis of the Tsunami Ready Guidelines (Draft Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Manuals and Guides no.74: Standard Guidelines for the Tsunami Ready Recognition Program). The Indian Ocean Tsunami Information Centre (IOTIC) in collaboration with the secretariat of the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (ICG/IOTWMS) have organized number of workshops on Piloting Tsunami Ready in Indian Ocean. In 2020, two communities (Venkatraipur and Noliasahi) in Odisha, India received the IOC-UNESCO Tsunami Ready Recognition. In compliance to the new norm and adapting to the current trend, the Indian Ocean Tsunami Information Centre (IOTIC) housed in UNESCO Office Jakarta and the Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) are organizing a series of online lecture series on IOC-UNESCO Tsunami Ready for Indian Ocean. The objective of this lecture series is to give broad understanding of IOC-UNESCO Tsunami Ready program and motivate and encourage communities, disaster management offices, and non-governmental organization to initiate, pilot, and implement the tsunami ready indicators. The expected outcome is more Indian Ocean communities to implement the IOC-UNESCO indicators and apply for IOC-UNESCO Tsunami Ready recognition. We are expecting the audience come from Indian Ocean Member States aiming for the general public (disaster management officials, NGOs, INGOs, CSOs, university lecturer and students, communities, etc.). The online lecture series sessions will share and explain the IOC-UNESCO Tsunami Ready program with highlights on the 12 indicators as well as guidance of how it can be piloted in tsunami prone communities in the Indian Ocean region. Invited experts from Indian Ocean will highlight each of the IOC-UNESCO Tsunami Ready indicators, and shared practical experience and examples of communities who have received the IOC- UNESCO Tsunami Ready Recognition.
